Yes, this is a "normal" response from a "normal" person, who thinks everyone is as "normal" as them

This putz wrote an acclaimed book that got turned into an acclaimed movie? I have to ask did the script writer or Ron Howard change a lot of dialogue and stuff to make it a normal movie? Maybe, he had a really good editor that was like, "Dude, this is some misogynist shit, take it out"
🎶all the wrong things🎶
JD Vance: I am in favor of all family planning services being banned, because 🎶 surprises let you know He cares! 🎵
I'm a little drunk rn. So just in case anyone else is wondering, the name of the fonts used in that post is Source Code. I like it a lot. Also, fuck Fox News and JD Vance.
I am also slightly buzzed and I thought it says sunburned woman instead of suburban woman. I was thinking what the fuck does that have to do with anything?
Check out Anonymous Pro. Same spacing between words and distinguishable letters (I fuckin hate Il1 or 0Oo) but a bit smaller kerning (space between letters). https://www.marksimonson.com/fonts/view/anonymous-pro It's intended for programmers, just like Source Code.
I just don’t get it. These are questions designed to get him to just answer with sections of his stump speech. How is he this bad at it? All he has to do is say the thing someone else wrote and he has said hundreds of times.
The incompetence would be easier to believe it was intentional.
I heard Donald Jr picked him out
Apparently it was Don Jr. and Steve Bannon who were really pushing him.
Steve Bannon, the guy that convicted of some kind of fraud for taking money for a border wall and running away with it. All that's left of trumps advisors are criminal conmen and his own failsons
Regressives gonna try to regress.
Conservatives are no longer conserving the rate of change to human and social values traditional to the United States.
Under Trump they have become fully reactionary against anything outside of their wealth and privilege bubble.
So what Harris has done has pointed out that the GOP are not "normal" because their values are really really really far outside the norm.
Harris flipped it. Because it is true. And she is a better politician than Trump. Poor Vance, not having an ideological raft to believe in, can only say reactionary things.
Don't buy their propaganda. They didn't become this under Trump. They have always been the protectors of wealth and privelige. You can trace that history right back to the birth of Conservativism in post-revolution France. This is just the latest incarnation.
I highly, highly recommend Corey Robin's book The Reactionary Mind. He breaks down the whole history of Conservativism in a very accessible manner, and shows how every incarnation of the movement has ultimately been about one thing and one thing only; preventing the enfranchisement of the disenfranchised.
Yeah.. let's talk about Trickle Down economics if you want to see pre Trump examples of the same agenda.
This seems like a good spot to recommend Roberts Evans Behind the Bastards: How Conservatism Won. in which "Robert sits down with David Bell to discuss how a consortium of rich failsons got together to fund a network of right wing think tanks and shift American culture in a fun new direction. (note: it was not actually fun at all)." It's a bit long but is very informative.
tl;dr the rich hated FDRs New Deal and immediately set about undoing everything it touched, they want a return to the gilded age with themselves as the robber barons and gentry and everyone else as a subservient underclass
Agreed, excellent recommendation.
Robert is a goddam treasure
Evans for President
You're a VP candidate. Normal things get handled by the city. Does he think CEOs worry about printer paper too?
Pray tell...what are these "normal" things you think suburban women worry about? I suppose it is abnormal on a global scale for them (us) to have to worry about it because it's a non-issue in actually civilized countries.
Really, who thinks about sex anyway?
You know, the usual stuff. Cross-dressing men at libraries, "military age" migrant caravans headed towards our southern border, and how high the taxes are for the top bracket. Totally normal concerns that directly affect average Americans in this day and age.
-
Worried about that one time and illegal immigrant killed someone 4 states away but ignoring the murder rates in their own town
-
Not wanting her tax dollars to go to some mythical welfare queen but is perfectly fine with it being funneled to incentives and bailouts for big businesses
-
Thinking non-english speaking illegal immigrants are coming for her job as an RN/admin assistant/realtor but not at all concerned the people who do her yard don't speak English
Ingraham is a ghoul and Vance is an inexplicably married incel.
Together, they combine to create! Asshole-Person
